Santee is located just 20 minutes from downtown San Diego. Residents enjoy the convenience of the city's urban location combined with its feeling of living in the country. The Santee Recreation Lakes offer fishing and boating and the downtown shopping area has a great variety of stores, theatres and restaurants. The area was incorporated in 1980 and now a vibrant business community that employs over 17,000 people and offers many recreational opportunities.
Since its incorporation, Santee has worked to improve quality of life in the community. The City Council approved the Town Center Specific Plan, a 700-acre mixed-use development. This project includes a high-tech office park, multi-family residential units, open space, and a planned 55-acre community park for recreational activities. The development includes a major entertainment and shopping center called Santee Trolley Square that is now open and the San Diego Trolley has its eastern terminus in the Town Center. Two new freeways, SR-52 and SR-125, have been extended into the City.
Detached single-family homes begin in the mid $300,000s in the Carlton Hills and Santee Lakes areas. Homes in El Nopal Estates and Fanita Ranch have larger lots and swimming pools. These residences offer Spanish and ranch styling, and modern amenities, beginning in the low $500,000s. Many of the lowest priced condominiums in Santee were built in the 1970s. The Mission La Vega and Carefree developments offer 2 bedroom units starting in the mid $200,000s. Tamberly, Lakeview, Riderwood Meadows and Carlton Oaks Condominiums built in the 1980s go for the low to mid $300,000s.
In the northern part of Santee, which remains largely undeveloped, is an area known as Fanita Ranch. This 2600-acre site is envisioned as a significant master-planned community providing high quality recreation and residential living. Large pieces of land remain available for development in Rancho El Cajon Heights, offering breathtaking vistas over the surrounding hills and valleys.
Santee remains one of San Diego’s most affordable communities and has had one of the five lowest crime rates in the nation for several years running. The highly regarded school system and excellent quality of life make Santee a first choice for many families.
